81-91 inner door handle seal.

Looking for 2, probably 4, inner door handle seals for the skinny 80's door handle.

These sit just behind the door handle pocket and on top of the mechanism. Winter is coming soon and I don't enjoy how much cold air these holes let in.

No one seems to reproduce the 80's units only the 70's. I might try the 77-80 but the handle hole is too big and I'll have the same issue. It also looks thicker.

never have seen one before, let alone how it's installed etc, and thinking outside the box. Can you use 1/4" flexible foam? they make it thinner as well.

I probably need lots of these seals lol. They keep the cold air from whistling through around the handle.

Just slips behind the door handle pocket over the door handle, my 79 has its still in place cuz it's never been messed with. The suburban has all four missing, and it's very noticeable. My last option was to just make something.

Any luck finding these?

Nope, just the couple on eBay. One was on a factory used handle assembly, the other was just the seal. But of course there's a left and right and the ones I got are both lefts, which is fine cuz I have a suburban, but annoying.

I wonder if a mold could be made of a good one? or if there would be a way to 3d print some lol.

I got one installed, it doesn't 100% stop all the air maybe 75%, rubber isn't as forgiving as foam would be, the handle has to pivot so there's some gap. I think I'm gonna end up shoving some kind of foam in there.
